OC Restaurant Week celebrates its 15th anniversary, with this year’s foodie-loving event taking place March 5 to March 11. OC Restaurant Week invites diners to experience new restaurants, splurge on luxe locales and support your local favorites throughout Newport Beach, Anaheim, Irvine, Santa Ana and beyond.
During OC Restaurant Week, Orange County diners can dig into multi-course meals ranging from $15 lunches to $45 dinners, as well as a selection of luxe dinners that can cost up to $120. And no tickets or passes are needed; simply make reservations at any participating restaurant.
Best of all, OC Restaurant Week has a “Celebrate Your Way” feature, meaning diners can search restaurants based on their wants and needs. Seeking a romantic date night? How about a family-friendly dining destination? Looking for a restaurant that offers up top-notch cocktails? Are you a vegan? Search these options and more via “Celebrate Your Way” on the event’s website. Locals can also search restaurants via city or price point.
Standout menus include: lunch and dinner menus at Anaheim’s Calaca Mamas Cantina, serving up a selection of its popular appetizers, entreés, desserts and hand-crafted cocktails; Cha Cha’s Latin Kitchen two-course lunch or three-course dinner (and be sure to pair your meal with Cha Cha’s award-winning margarita); and Brea’s beloved Italian Kitchen’s three-course dinner menu with indugent options arancini, pollo Parmigiana and penne al pesto. Plus, Khan Saab Desi Craft Kitchen (pictured at top of page), a 100 percent Halal eatery in Fullerton, presents an elevated Desi meal box dinner, featuring signature starter and side dishes served for the table, followed by several standout dinner entree options and a shared Shai Tudka dessert (Khan Saab’s alcohol-free bar will also be open for guests to sip zero-proof cocktails).
